Beamish Hall - Hannah and Shaun
In February, Hannah and Shaun said "I do" in the beautiful setting of Beamish Hall in County Durham. The weather was perfect for a winter wedding, with clear skies, a bit of sun, and just a hint of chill in the air.
The ceremony took place in the stunning Shafto Hall surrounded by their closest family and friends. Hannah looked breathtaking in her elegant wedding gown as she walked down the aisle with her dad, and Shaun looked very dapper in his Cavani suit. They were both, all smiles as they exchanged vows, it was clear to see the love in their eyes for each other.
After the ceremony, guests were treated to some fantastic speeches and a delicious meal in the Monboucher suite. The room was beautifully decorated and the atmosphere was lively as everyone celebrated the newlyweds. The Monboucher suite also played host for their evening reception where the party continued into the night.
It was a day filled with love, laughter, and a whole lot of happy tears, and it was a joy to have been a part of it.

On a bright and sunny day in October, Kate and Adam tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at Beamish Hall in County Durham. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, they exchanged their vows in the Shafto Hall, before heading outside to celebrate with a few drinks in the stunning grounds. The Monboucher Suite played host to the wedding meal and some great speeches with heartfelt toasts, and as the day progressed, the celebrations continued in the Winter Gardens.
It was a wedding filled with joy, and laughter and was wonderful to have been a part of. Congratulations again to Kate and Adam! It was an honour to be a part of your wedding day. Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness!

South Causey Inn - Jasmine and Ryan
Jasmine and Ryan's spectacular wedding in October took place at two venues. Surrounded by all of their family and friends, they said their vows and became husband and wife in the Tanfield Suite at the South Causey Inn in County Durham. After a few family photos in the grounds, they headed off to celebrate their marriage at the Happiness Inn in Newcastle, with speeches, toasts, a traditional Chinese tea ceremony, and a meal.
We headed back to South Causey Inn later in the day and arrived early ahead of the guests to explore the gardens, take in the sunshine and create some beautiful portraits before heading inside. South Causey Inn has several venues to choose from, however, as Jasmine and Ryan were the only wedding at the venue that day, and with so much time on our hands, the staff at South Causey were only too happy to allow us to explore the other venues for photographs too.
Once everyone had arrived and were seated in the Durham Suite, the bride and groom, along with the best man and maid of honour each gave a speech sharing funny stories and witty anecdotes then took to the dancefloor for their first dance as husband and wife.
It was a wonderful day, and so much fun to photograph and we were thrilled to have been a part of it.

South Causey Inn - Darcie and Paul
In October, we were back at South Causey Inn in County Durham for Darcie and Paul’s wonderful wedding day. It was one of those perfect autumn days, with clear skies and crisp autumn air, and it could not have been more perfect for their wedding.
Surrounded by their nearest and dearest, Darcie and Paul exchanged vows in the St Cuthbert’s suite, afterwards moving outside with their guests to enjoy the glorious weather and the stunning views of the Beamish Valley. After a bit of confetti and a few photo’s in the grounds, they all headed back inside to the Old Barn for their wedding breakfast and three amazing speeches.
After the sun had set, and the dancing was in full swing, we began to say our goodbyes, but were stopped in our tracks at the sight of the full moon. We quickly nipped outside for one last photo, and I am so glad we did, what a way to spend the end of your day, standing in the light of the full moon. It was such a romantic moment.
Incredible venues with gorgeous decor and beautiful views, stunning flower arrangements, and amazing outfits all go together to help make a wedding unforgettable, and Darcie and Paul had all of these, but for me what makes a wedding really special is the people. The love and joy for Darcie and Paul was clear to see from the faces of everyone attending, and I am not surprised at all, Darcie and Paul are two of the warmest and most wonderful people you could hope to meet. It was a joy to get to know them both and wonderful to photograph their wedding.

“The photos are absolutely beautiful!! Thank you so much, we LOVE them, you’ve captured our whole day perfectly!! We had the most amazing day, everything about it was perfect and a huge part of that was having you and Nigel with us.” - Darcie and Paul.
South Causey Inn - Ashley and Michael
South Causey Inn was the perfect location for Ashley and Michael's summer wedding. With its breathtaking views of the Beamish Valley and rustic charm, it provided the perfect backdrop for their special day. I knew the day was going to be amazing right from the start, with the girls setting the tone for the day as they got ready. The room was a buzz, filled with laughter, and fun, and I loved being there to capture it all in photographs. Nigel was there also to capture the other side of things as Michael and the lads finished getting ready in the Old Barn bar, and the guests arrived for their ceremony. They tied the knot in the St Cuthbert’s Suite, surrounded by their closest friends and family. Ashley looked stunning in her elegant a-line wedding gown as she walked down the aisle on her dad’s arm to meet her groom.
After a fabulous drinks reception in the Old Barn Bar and a few pictures outside, Ashley, Michael, and their guests made their way into the Old Barn for their wedding breakfast and some really fantastic speeches. In the summer, the best light always comes towards the end of the day, so after dinner, we took advantage of the good light and made our way outside to explore the grounds of South Causey Inn. As the evening progressed, the partying started. Ashley and Michael kicked things off with their first dance as husband and wife, opening the dancefloor to everyone else, who all joined in, dancing to their favourite modern country tunes - and wow, these guys love a dance!
Ashley and Michael originally planned to get married in 2020. Two years after their original wedding date and over three since booking us, it was wonderful to finally see them make it down the aisle. It was also great to catch up with Michael’s best man Ben, and his wife Natasha whose wedding we photographed at Brinkburn Priory in 2019. If you want to see their wedding photographs, you can find them here.

“I just wanted to say how thankful we are to have you two capture our day. We honestly had the best day ever. We loved every moment. You guys are just amazing, you made us feel so relaxed and calm all day. You guys are the best!” - Ashley and Michael.
South Causey Inn - Natasha and Robert
A South Causey Inn wedding. Natasha and Robert chose the South Causey Inn’s old barn for the location of their November wedding, and us to be their wedding photographers for the day. With its low lighting and cosy interior, it makes an especially lovely, and very stylish venue for a winter wedding. Natasha got ready in the Pamper Suite, located above the on site antique shop, while Robert chose to get ready in the American Trilogy room. A joyful ceremony was followed by an indoors drinks reception, after which their guests were entertained by some really wonderful speeches. While not small in numbers attending, it was a wonderfully intimate, family focused occasion and a joy to have been a part of.
